Spring Blossoms 2017

Spring has arrived! And that means blossoms are popping out left and right.

The Asian Pear is again blooming and coming out strong.

The cherry tree has a few more blossoms, but I doubt I’ll see even a handful of cherries. Especially if the birds get to them first.

The Mexicola avocado has always been prolific with blossoms. Even so, the flowers end up dropping by middle of summer. But since I noticed more bees buzzing around maybe we’ll have more fruit setting rather than dropping. Maybe we’ll have a good crop of avocado this year.

Even with all the rain we had this winter, the sate of California still encourages us to save water. Since our mini backyard fruit orchard is on year 3, I would think most of the roots have grown deep and strong. So hopefully it will do well with limited water.
